Summary of that post: after you upload your images you still need to insert them in your post. Click in you post where you want them to appear, then click the drop down by the red outlined image icon to select the image[s].

its of my opinion that a global post of a subject like 'read this before posting' is needed to cover basic FAQ's, how to post photos is good, as well as pointing people at the Search feature. Should help to eliminate duplicate posts for the same questions which is a big concern... may not be a big concern to a lot of people, but being in the technology industry myself itâ€™s my goal to empower people to use the technology they have to achieve goals and objectives... i.e. what day lobster is served at csa. I see so many duplicate posts now on the legacy board its almost a time killer to have to read the same question/post in multiple threads.

thanks for reading!. i'll kill this thread before you go to production with this board.

I would like to suggest that we include the ability to attach excel spreadsheet files (xls) into posts. In the old message board we would upload a spreadsheet in our thread on the Meet Up at Couples that listed couples going to CSS in July and on what dates. Currently we are only limited to uploading image files.

that is a great idea, i recall referencing a "to bring" list before i hit csa.

in this case, what about a dynamic spreadsheet administered by a member of the community and share on google docs or something, therefore accessable by all, but edited by one or a small team. this way you dont need to upload multiple docs, just work from one central one.

I would suggest removing the approval of photos. It's not really needed since the posts themselves are already being moderated. Plus, when you add a photo using a url it bypasses the image approval process anyway.

Now to mention a bug. When you add a photo using a url in quick reply mode is works correctly, but when you add a photo using url in advanced mode it errors out saying that it can't write to the temporary file.

The whole "adding an image to a post" process needs to be simplified, it is overly complicated and will give the majority of users trouble. The post describing how to add a photo is good and very explanatory, but the fact that you have to add your photo twice to get it to show up not as an attachment is all ready and will continue to confuse many users. I understand the process but I also have 20 years of IT experience. To explain the process, first you go into advanced mode, add an image to your Manage Attachments list, then you must manually select the attached photo from your list and add it to your post. It is this double adding that is confusing users. If it would help I could also provide a write up further describing this process.

I agree here. The little photo icon is traditionally a box that automatically inserts image tags around the link to your photos, and the manage attachments box below the reply box usually is direct upload/direct view (i.e. not uploaded as an attachment to click on).

Papa Smoke, you were supposed to find those skin. We had forgot to switch them off. LOL. We are still developing them and they have some bugs we need to swat. Once we get by the transition we will move on them.

I just wanted to say that you guys are doing great. I truly believe that moving to this new message board will be great for all. It takes a little time to find and get the bugs worked out, but that's what beta testing is all about. Keep up the good work.

I have to agree with a previous post, though it may not be on this thread. The threads seem very cluttered. Is there a way to make a clear line that seperates posts? Also, why does the first post continue to appear in a box of each and every post. Very cluttered.
